Airship API

Airship’s REST APIs for messaging, content personalization and audience management.

Libraries

Airship maintains open source server libraries to support your integrations with our APIs in multiple languages. Click below for library documentation.

Introduction

Airship provides a number of REST API endpoints collectively known as the Airship API Version 3, in support of our messaging product lines and related features. Version 3 is the current and only supported version of the Airship API.

API Request Format

All API requests are HTTP requests. For all requests with a body, the body may be in JSON format or other formats like CSV as specified for the endpoint. The proper Content-Type for JSON is application/json and the proper content type for CSV is text/csv.

Date-Time Format

All date-time values are represented as a string according to ISO 8601 in UTC.

  • The string must be in the format YYYY-MM-dd['T']hh:mm:ss['Z'] where the T can be replaced by a space and the Z is optional.
  • A T separator is preferred but not required. It will be included in all date-time values generated by the API. For example:
    • 2023-11-13T09:42:30Z
    • 2023-11-13T09:42:30
    • 2023-11-13 09:42:30Z
    • 2023-11-13 09:42:30
  • A trailing time zone identifier or offset should not be included.
  • UTC is implicit.

Color Format

All color values are represented by a string format reminiscent of CSS color values used for web programming. The format is #rrggbb, a literal # character followed by 6 hexadecimal digits representing 3 values in the range 00 to FF. The values are red, green, and blue color components.

API Response Format

All API responses are HTTP responses, making use of appropriate HTTP response codes. When a body is present, it SHALL be in JSON format, except in certain cases where reporting data MAY be returned in CSV format. The body of all JSON responses SHALL consist of a single JSON object, which SHALL contain a boolean ok attribute indicating overall success or failure. When a request results in a return value containing multiple entities, they SHALL be contained in an array-valued attribute, the name of which MAY vary by endpoint. For example, /api/tag will return a list of tags in the tags attribute, while /api/schedules will return a list of schedules in the schedules attribute. The name of the response object attribute containing the list of returned entities SHALL be contained in the Data-Attribute HTTP header.

Operation ID

All API calls that create or modify resources, or cause side effects, SHALL generate an operation ID. An operation ID is an opaque unique string that identifies a single API call, and can be used to group multiple entities or side effects as related, in reporting and troubleshooting logs. For example, the batch push API call can be used to send multiple pushes in one call. Each push has a unique push ID, but they will all share a common operation ID. This enables roll-ups of multiple related operations (such as push to local time or push to language) and better end-to-end tracing in the push pipeline. Operation IDs are returned in the JSON body of the response, in the operation_id attribute of the root response object. An operation ID will be generated even for error responses.

Response Codes

The API makes use of standard HTTP response codes, with standard HTTP semantics. Response codes in the 200 range indicate success. Codes in the 400 range indicate errors of a correctable nature. Codes in the 500 range indicate system errors.

This table lists general response definitions. Refer to the actual response definition per endpoint.

Response codeDescription
200 OKThe payload was accepted.
201 CreatedAn API request to create a new entity or entities was successful, and the entities were created.
202 AcceptedAn API request was successfully accepted into a processing queue to be processed later.
204 No ContentAn entity was successfully deleted.
400 Bad RequestParsing or validating the request failed.
401 UnauthorizedAuthentication information (the app key and secret) was either incorrect or missing.
403 ForbiddenAuthentication was correct, but the user does not have permission to access the requested API. This can happen if a feature is not included in the user’s Airship plan.
404 Not FoundA request was made for a non-existent entity.
405 Method Not AllowedA request was made using an HTTP method not supported by the endpoint. For example, sending a DELETE to /api/schedules.
406 UnacceptableThe client requested a version of the API that cannot be satisfied, because no compatible version is currently deployed.
409 ConflictAn entity could not be updated due to state conflict.
429 Too Many RequestsA request was denied because the app made too many requests to an API in a short period of time.

Validation

All requests must be validated. Proper validation at the API level can prevent invalid pushes from using resources in our delivery pipeline and educate API users about their own mistakes without involving Support. In the event of an error processing the request, the response body will contain one or more error objects. Parsing errors, arising from syntactically invalid JSON, should return an HTTP 400 Bad Request response. Semantic errors, arising from requests that are syntactically valid but otherwise malformed (for example, missing required fields), should return an HTTP 400 response, with a JSON body indicating details about the validation failure.

Some examples of specific validation cases that cause pushes to be rejected with an HTTP 400 error:

  • Invalid attributes — Any additional JSON keys that are not explicitly allowed by the spec will result in an HTTP 400 error, except where arbitrary keys are explicitly allowed (for example, the extra sections of a push payload).
  • Unconfigured open platform — Any open platform specified in the device_types array must be configured and active for the appKey. If the open platform is not configured, we will return an HTTP 400.
  • Missing payload — A push that specifies delivery to a platform but does not supply a payload for that platform is invalid.
  • Device identifier/restriction mismatch — A push that includes a device identifier in the audience selection but does not include the corresponding platform in the device_types specifier is invalid.
  • Schedule times — Requests to schedule pushes for times that have already passed will return an HTTP 400 response. However, requests to schedule local time pushes for a time that has elapsed in a local time zone will be accepted.
  • Unsupported platform feature — A push that includes features not supported on all platforms must explicitly target the supported platforms. Location is the only feature not supported across all platforms. This includes location expressions in predefined segments. Location pushes must specify device_types : [ ios, android ], or either iOS or Android explicitly.

Pagination

Some resource collections, such as tags and segments, may have a very large number of items, necessitating iterating through them in chunks (or pages) if an API consumer wishes to retrieve them all.

Request Parameters

There are two methods for pagination results:

  • start and limit
  • page and page_size

Using a non-unique identifier for the start parameter is unsound and will not paginate correctly. For endpoints that support sorting, if sorting is applied to a non-unique field, a secondary sort on a unique field must be used internally to ensure stable pagination results.

  • start — Optional string or integer. Identifies the starting element for paginating results. It can be either a unique string identifier or a zero-based offset, depending on the API.
  • limit — Optional integer. The maximum number of elements to return.
  • page — Optional integer. Specifies which page to retrieve, starting with 1.
  • page_size — Optional integer. The number of elements to return per page. The last page may have fewer elements.
  • sort — Optional string. The name of the field to sort results by. This is not necessarily supported by all endpoints.
  • order — Optional asc or desc. If the sort parameter is available, this parameter may be used to specify the direction of the sort as ascending or descending.

Link Header

Collections of entities SHALL be paginated by specifying a start point and a limit on the number of returned items as parameters of the request. The response SHALL include the requested items and a link to the next page of results. A link to the previous page MAY also be included if the underlying service supports it. For example, the Segments API supports previous page links. The links SHALL be provided in the Link HTTP header, as per RFC 5988 Web Linking, using the relations next and prev.

Count and Total

The number of items in the response SHALL be returned in the custom HTTP header Count, as well as in the "count" field of the response object. The total number of items in the collection MAY be returned in the custom HTTP header Total-Count, as well as in the "total_count" field of the response object, if the collection is countable and the total number of items is known.

Version Syntax

You must specify the version of the API you are using with the Accept HTTP header. If you do not specify an API version in the Accept header, a 406 is returned.

The content type used is a vendor-specific media type (see RFC 4288 Media Type Specifications and Registration Procedures) and must be specified as: application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3.

Transport Layer Security

As of October 6, 2020, Airship supports only Transport Layer Security (TLS) versions 1.2 and 1.3 in our APIs, in accordance with PCI Security Standards Council recommendations.

If your API integration uses TLS 1.0 or 1.1, contact our Support team for assistance migrating to TLS 1.2 or 1.3.

Delivery Speed Options

The Airship push API is designed for extremely high throughput to ensure delivery to your entire audience as fast as possible. Depending on the size and/or complexity of your audience and the urgency of the message, you may find that you need to either slow down or speed up the delivery. To that end, we offer the following add-on services: Boost and Throttling.

If you are interested in enabling Boost or Throttling, contact Support.

Boost

Boost optimizes your segmented messages through parallel processing. Consider adding Boost if your notifications are extremely time-sensitive. Boost is a paid add-on. Contact your Account Manager for details.

Throttling

For less time-sensitive messages, our standard delivery speed may cause undue pressure on your internal systems or APIs, for example, when millions of users open your app at the same time. Use Throttling to tune delivery to a level that doesn’t put strain on those systems.

Complex segments can cause delays in processing

When creating segments or pushes with logical expressions, keep in mind that one or more NOT statements may cause latency when sending notifications, as NOT operations are inherently more expensive to perform than OR or AND operations. For example, tag_a AND NOT tag_b is basically the same speed as tag_a AND tag_b, but just NOT tag_b is likely to be slower than just tag_b.

Latency is more significant with larger audiences. We recommend using AND statements in place of NOT statements whenever possible as a best practice.

Device changes can take a few minutes

Some requests to register or unregister information about a device may take a few minutes to process before you are able to see the changes. Keep this in mind when performing PUT or POST requests.

Base URL

Select the domain associated with your Airship project.

Authentication

For additional information, including steps for creating bearer tokens and OAuth client credentials, see Airship API Security.

  • HTTP Authentication

    Basic Auth (App)
    Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a Base64-encoded string generated from your App Key and App Secret in appKey:appSecret format. For example, Basic YXBwX2tleTphcHBfc2VjcmV0.
  • HTTP Authentication

    Basic Auth (Master)
    Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a Base64-encoded string generated from your App Key and Master Secret in appKey:masterSecret format. For example, Basic YXBwX2tleTptYXN0ZXJfc2VjcmV0.
  • HTTP Authentication

    Basic Auth (OAuth)
    Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a Base64-encoded string generated from your OAuth Client ID and Client Secret in client_id:client_secret format. For example, Basic YXBwX2tleTptYXN0ZXJfc2VjcmV0. Used only for requesting OAuth tokens. See OAuth.
  • HTTP Authentication

    Bearer Token
    Authorization header containing the word Bearer followed by a space and a bearer token generated from the Airship dashboard. You can generate tokens for different roles. If your role does not grant you access to a feature, the endpoint will respond with a 401 status code. Tokens can be revoked at will.
  • OAuth Authentication

    OAuth 2.0
    Authorization header containing the word Bearer followed by a space and an OAuth 2.0 JWT bearer token provided by our authorization server. See OAuth.

OAuth

Request an OAuth 2.0 token using Basic Auth or an assertion.

DELETE /api/user/messages/{push_id}

Delete a Message Center message completely, removing it from every user’s inbox. This is an asynchronous call; a success response means that the deletion has been queued for processing.

This delete call will work with either the message_id or the push_id of the accompanying push notification.

This endpoint will not work with a group_id from an automated message or a push to local time delivery. To delete a rich message that was part of an automated or local time delivery, you must use the relevant push_id from the operation.

 Note

For time-sensitive messages you should consider including an expiry time, as detailed in the In-App Message Object. Setting an expiry value will prevent you from having to manually remove messages.

Security:

path PARAMETERS
  • push_id : StringREQUIRED

    The push_id or message_id of the Rich Message you want to delete from users` inboxes.

    Format: uuid

List filtered pipelines

GET /api/pipelines/filtered

Lists all pipelines, which fulfill the provided filter criteria. Returns a response container, which contains an array of pipeline objects in the pipelines attribute. The response container also provides total count and links to the next page next_page and previous page prev_page, if applicable. We also always apply a sort order. By default we apply an ascending sort order on the name name field, but we also support a sort order on the started date started_date field. Pagination is always applied, which means that the pipeline result list is not the complete list of pipelines if the total count is greater than the page limit.

Security:

query PARAMETERS
  • start : Integer

    Non-negative zero-based index of the starting element for paginating results. Default value 0.

    Min: 1

  • limit : Integer

    The maximum number of results to return. This is effectively the page size for the response.

    Min: 1

  • enabled : Boolean

    If true, limits the listing to enabled pipelines. If false or omitted, lists all pipelines, whether enabled is true or false.

  • started_date_mills : Integer

    Limits the listing to only pipelines that were started after the specified date in milliseconds.

    Format: int64

  • prefix : String

    Search term, which is used as a prefix search term.

  • triggers : String

    0 or more trigger types. The triggers filter limits the listing of pipelines by the specified trigger types. For example, if you specify REGION_EXITED and REGION_ENTERED, only pipelines that are associated with region entry and region exit triggers will be shown. If no trigger types are specified, no triggers filter will be applied and all pipelines will be listed.

    Possible values: TAG_ADDED, TAG_REMOVED, FIRST_REG, FIRST_OPT_IN, ACTIVITY, REGION_ENTERED, REGION_EXITED, CUSTOM_EVENT, SUBSCRIPTION_ADDED, SUBSCRIPTION_REMOVED

  • sort : String

    Specifies the field, which should be sorted. Two fields are supported: name and started_date. If you omit the sort parameter, the default value name is used. If you provide an unknown field name, we will default to the name field.

    Possible values: name, started_date

  • order : String

    Specifies the sort order as ascending (asc) or descending (desc). If you omit the order parameter, the default value asc is used.

    Possible values: asc, desc

POST /api/experiments/validate

Accepts the same range of payloads as /api/experiments, but only parses and validates the payload without creating the experiment. This does the same amount of validation as the creation endpoint, including platform-specific validation, e.g., APNs byte limit checks. While this operation ensures the experiment is technically valid, it does not guarantee that a resulting push will succeed. An experiment may validate and still fail to be delivered. For example, you may have a valid experiment with no devices in your audience.

Custom Events

User events that occur outside of your app can be submitted to Airship for inclusion in analytics reporting, as triggers for Automation, or for export via Connect. These events can take place on the web, e.g., your website, social media, or in your back office systems such as CRM or POS software. Any event that can be associated with a mobile app user can be submitted as an Airship Custom Event. The events that you submit are associated with channels and are available to use as Custom Event triggers.

POST /api/channels/subscription_lists

Subscribe or unsubscribe channels to/from Subscription Lists.

 Note

If you are using a single-channel Preference Center created before October 10, 2022, that has not been migrated to user-level, use the /api/channels/subscription_lists endpoint to add or remove individual channels to/from your subscription list. Otherwise, use the Scoped Named User batch operations endpoint to do so.

 Important

You must first create a subscription list in the dashboard, then you can refer to its ID when subscribing users. When subscribing users, if the list has not already been created in the dashboard, then the list will be created at the same time but will not be accessible from the dashboard; the list will available for API use only.

POST /api/channels/tags

Add, remove, or set tags on a channel.

 Important

A tag must be < 128 characters. A request with one or more tags longer than 128 characters will return a 400 response. We support up to 1,000 tags per channel. Adding more than 1,000 tags per channel can cause latency and service interruptions. We strongly recommend removing unused tags whenever possible, and using Custom Events when appropriate. Please contact Support if you believe your use case requires more than 1,000 tags per channel, and they will help you find an alternative.

cu.uninstall(channels: chans)

POST /api/channels/uninstall

Uninstalls a channel, removing it and all accompanying analytic data (including Performance Analytics) from Airship systems in accordance with data privacy law compliance.

Uninstallation is handled automatically by the Airship SDK and push systems. If a user decides to opt in to communications again (either by using your app or other user preferences), they will create a new channel and a new set of analytic data. The value of a Channel ID may be the same as before however none of the associated metadata will persist when a user opts in again. A new Channel ID will be created if the user clears their browser’s cookies and data, deletes and reinstalls the app, etc.

See Individual Data Privacy Rights Under Data Privacy Laws for more information about data privacy law compliance.

 Note

Channel uninstallation, like channel creation, is an asynchronous operation, and may take some time to complete.

Open Channels

Open Channels are custom communication channels that you can configure for messaging, using the same segmentation and scheduling tools available on natively-supported platforms (iOS, Android, etc.). With Open Channels, you define a new open platform, e.g., SMS, Slack, Acme™ Smart Toasters, and register the new platform with Airship.

If you are sending through the Push API, platform overrides for open platforms are covered in Open Channel Overrides. For open channel lookup, use the Channel Lookup endpoint.
